Elizabeth Romero: No Substitutes
A shy skinny kid at the counter
Ordered pea soup.
The waitress dumped it from a small can
Added water and heated it.
The light poured through the window
Mercilessly.
Outside milkweed floats on the wind
Shining as it travels.

Sometimes I read Vox Populi before meditation and a smile stays with me.
